I had problems with the cheksum code on trunk and I was about to 
release a patch that reverts checksum code from 2.1 tree (there was not a 
problem with this in Player 2.1.x). I guess this is because I'm testing it 
on some old 1998 P2DX.

server/drivers/mixed/p2os/packet.cc Check() method, in trunk it is:
   if ( chksum == (packet[size-2] << 8 | packet[size-1]))
     return(true);

to work properly with my P2DX it should be:
   if ( chksum == packet[size-2] << 8 | packet[size-1])
     return(true);
...as in Player 2.1.x and earlier.

This gonna be one of hard-to-satisfy-everyone problem.
